S UN Office, 112, Strand, Oct. 17, 1838. 211-ePuhlication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at I 0 minutes past Three o'Clock 7 (77"1 ) 1 al lower deck guns, to be victualled for six months, and to take eight hundred men on board, besides the crew ; while the Tarn and Egerie, transport-corvettes, are to victual themselves for the same period, to take each four hundred men on board, and all three vessels to hold themselves in readiness to sail on the receipt of orders. Their destina tion is not known. The Hercule was to sail on the 12th for Tunis, with the new Consul-General on board. An other letter speaks of an expedition being ordered to pro ceed immediat,4 to Buenos Ayres. An expedition against Tunis was also rumoured as on the point of taking place, to protect French commercial interests, and to repress the alleged insolence of the young Bey. The Courier• Francais of Monday contains the fol lowing extract from a letter from Odessa, dated the 30th ult.:— " Orders from the Emperor arrive at least once a-week, and keep our Governor in constant activity. The army amounts to 45,000 effective men, independent of the garri sons and other local forces. The three corps of Cossacks have been increased by 6,000 men, and the battalions from the Danube added to the army of Bessarabia amount to be tween 7,000 and 8,000. The embarcation corps and marine troops are about 18,000 strong, without reckoning 3,000 sailors organized as crews ready to join those .who are afloat. The fleet comprising the ships at Kherson, Nicolaiew, on the coast of, Tauris, and in the Sea of Azoff, but without including those which form the blockade of Abasia, cut down, five frigates, six corvettes, three brigs, two schooner brigs, four cutters, and 20 pinnaces, gun- boats, flat-bottomed boats, and other small craft, all armed and stored. The war against the Circassians makes no pro gress whatever. The contraband supplies from the coast, in spite of the blockade, and the reinforcements which the mountaineers receive, particularly in officers, have so in creased their confidence, that no termination to the con test can be foreseen. There have been two battles in the course of this month, in which the Cossacks of the Black Sea were defeated, and the Dragoons were driven back at the point of the sword. There have been many desertions from the Russian infantry, and even from the artillery." The subjoined extracts from the Papers include all the news they contain of any particular interest : WITH WHICH T HE " TRUE SUN " IS NOW INCORPORATED. LONDON : WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 17, 1838. T he Philadelphia correspondent of the Morning t e h lt rwlicl e s t ates, a f ter a d vert i ng to a su dd en r i se i n b e P ri ce of grain in the American ports, occasioned Y our deficient harvests and high averages,— 1 1 l a c Th ° great body of the people here complain that it i s 1 4 ' Z th , e ue Price of flour should be raised in the Un i ted S ta t es cause a scarcity is feared in Great Britain."

Our Corn-laws, therefore, are a true to i tical lep ros y, w hi c h ma k e us h ate f u l an d di sgust i ng ourselves, and a pestilential curse to all around us. 013 , it is commonly said, " has pointed his canon tigai4lnst self-slaughter ;" but the suicide of an indivi ,l, is a trifling crime, compared to the loath some di seases, moral and physical, and lingering death, // hieh this community knowingly, wilfully, and con a~ally inflicts on many of its members by the Devil' s 2. " The Augsburg Gazette announces, on the credit of a letter from Galicia, that a new political murder has taken place at Cracow on the person of a Russian spy, sent to find out and betray the emigrants and deserters concealed in the city. This man was said to have been found pierced by forty stabs of a poignard. This tragic history seems invented to justify the violence, past and future, offered and to be offered, to the independence of Cracow by the Three Powers."—Journal des Debats.

It w ill, doubt "istcti general attent i on, an d must create muc h ss7 on in this country, as well as in Ireland. It seems that Cabrera has committed acts of atrocious cruelty ; he has caused a great part of his prisoners to be shot, and twenty of these unfortunate people were executed at La Muella itself. As soon as this news reached Sara gossa, the whole population crowded the streets uttering cries of vengeance, and threatening to force an entrance into the Castle, in order to retaliate on the Carlist pri soners, and massacre them without any exception. General San Miguel terrified by these alarming symptoms immedi ately convoked a Junta of officers, and in concert with them took all necessary measures to calm this popular effervescence, and arrested a great number of individuals suspected of being Carlists ; the people, however, remained in a state of ex citement ; they pretended that these were only sham rumours, and that the Carlists would soon be released. The tumult increased, the National Guards took up arms, and arrested many persons. It was then learned that the Carlists under Negri had just burned Jalose, and that they were already at the gates of Alagon, very near to the city. This news naturally diverted the attention of the people— every body then thought of the means of defence, and the tumult in the street ceased, as if by magic. The officers of the ancient legion of Algiers displayed great energy on this occasion, and performed great services. On the 9th the mass of the people was far from being calm, however the National Guards had laid down its arms ; the castle was no longer threatened with an attack by the people, and a mail had just been received from Madrid which proved that the communication was again free. It is true the date of the letters brought by this mail was not known, for none had been delivered ; but the bare fact of the arrival of a mail quieted the people's minds.—Le Commerce.

The mes senger had overtaken Mr. M'NEIL at Tabriz, where he prevailed upon him to remain, till further convinced of the sincerity of the SC H A 11.

On this condition he is to be maintained in his pre sent possessions, in conformity with the treaty of Kiu taya, but still as a vassal of the Grand Seionor ; but, in case he should refuse, force is to be used. According to some, a communication to this effect has been made to the Viceroy, and Admiral Stopford has been ordered to ap pear with his fleet before Alexandria, to enforce the de mand, should it not be complied with. What faith is to be given to this statement we cannot say, but it gains credit here. The decision of Mehemet Ali to pay the arrears of tribute due to the Porte is now certain. M. Lafuente, agent of two houses at Alexandria, charged with providing the funds, arrived here on the 24th, to negotiate bills on Europe to the amount of between 10,000,000 and 12,000,000 piastres. A steamboat arrived two days ago from Trebisond, but she brings no news of importance or interest from Persia. A courier extraordinary from London had embarked in the steamer which left on the 21st for Trebisond with urgent despatches for Mr. M'Neil. On the 24th M. de Boutenieff had an audience of the Sultan previous to his return to St. Petersburgh on temporary leave of absence. His Highness presented the Envoy with a splendid snuff-box, enriched with diamonds, and charged him with the expression of his friendship and attachment to the Emperor. On the 23d a grand Te Deem was chanted at the French Embassy for the birth of the Count de Paris. Salutes were fired from the French brig Argus, and the Ambassador's residence was brilliantly illuminated in the evening. The first number of an Italian Journal, entitled Lo Stambol, has just appeared at Pera. It has adopted this motto—l/oni soit qui mal y pense." The Smyrna Gazette publishes a letter from Alex andria, dated the 16th ult., which states that notwith standing the present submission of the VICEROY, manifested by the payment of the arrears of tribute, his Highness has not relinquished his determination to effect his independence. He merely admits that the presenttime was ill-chosen, and that he was guilty of a great over sight in not previously endeavouring to conciliate the Cabinets of England and France. The writer further states that EKIJEL EFFENDI, a young Egyptian educated in England, has been raised to the dignity of a Bey, and appointed as a sort of Ambassador to ex plain the conduct and policy of the Viceroy to the English and French Cabinets, in order to prepare them for the development of the series of events which he is at present contemplating. We should here observe that the servants of the VICEROY have contra dicted these reports, without, however, shaking the public faith in their entire correctne=s. OnEssA, SEPT. 28.—After a pretty long continuance of fine weather, the equinoctial storms were ushered in, on ' the 24th instant, by a violent thunder storm, which lasted THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1838 from four in the afternoon until eleven at night. The rain came down in torrents, and the thunder was remarkable not only for its violence, but its inoessant rolling. Fortu nately the wind, which blew from the east, was not very high, otherwise the sixty ships that were in the roads must have sustained much injury. The weather has been bad ever since, and the wind, which at first seemed to turn to the south, has veered again to the north-east, so that ships coming from Constantinople have not been able to enter the North Sea without the aid of steam-boats. F:om the 12th January to the 12th September, the value of Russian produce exported from Odessa was 19,471,479 rubles. The principal articles were—Wheat, 582,050 chettverts, value 10,606,806 rubles ; Linseed, 95,269 chetwerts, value 2,273,435 rubles ; Wool, 34,333 poods (1 Food 36 lb.), value 2,042,700 rubles ; Tallow, 125,305 poods, value 1,465,170 rubles. Foreign articles were im ported to the value of 13,331,379 rubles ; 494 foreign ships arrived, and 463 sailed.—Frankfort Paper, Oct. 15. Madrid Joutnals of the 7th inst. have been received his morning. They represent in the gloomiest light the present aspect of the Spanish capital. The cor respondent of the Morning Chronicle, whose testi mony as regards the QUEEN'S Government may be relied on as correct, thus describes the state of Madrid on the 6th inst., humediately after the news of the de feat and death of General PARDINAS had been made public : I need scarcely say that the news produced the most pro found impression in Madrid. The funds fell to the, I be lieve, unprecedented low quotation of 154 ; the streets were comparatively abandoned, dismay pictured in every countenance, heightened by the apprehension that the feelings of the people would find a vent during the night in some terrible and illegal explosion. To prevent this as far as possible, a proclamation, signed by the con stitutional Alcade of Madrid, calling on the people to abstain from all violence, and informing them that the evil was not so great as was at first supposed, was posted up in all the thoroughfares. Some, however, of the people, particularly of the National Guards, conceiving that the proclamation was exclusively the production of the Government, tore them down immediately, and much fear existed that these demonstrations of indignation against the members of the Government would proceed to open insurrection against the constituted authorities. The wavering movement, however, was controlled by the more influential members of the National Guards and middle classes, and the night passed over without any actual dis turbance of the peace of the city, which was certainly much threatened at one time. While these serious and threatening events were in progress, how do you think the late and present Government, with their friends and supporters, were engaged ? In nothing less than dis cussing the important question whether Isturiz or Mon was to be the President of the forthcoming Cortes ! Such is the occupation of the trustees of Spanish liberty at the moment its very existence is threatened. Government I believe there is none, not even the shadow of one. Three of its members, the Ministers of Finance, of the Interior, and of the War Department, I understand, gave in their resignations last night. The cry was loud and unanimous all day and this evening for a new government ; but what steps have been taken to comply with the de mand, or who are the parties upon whom the choice of the Queen falls, are not well known. An error committed at this critical moment may be productive of the most serious consequences ; twice in nine months have the people been deceived ; I doubt if they will stand the test of a third ex periment on their patience. The proximity of Narvaez and his eight thousand men, who are expected to be re viewed here by the Queen on Monday or Tuesday next, may interfere with the correctness of my opinion should another unpopular Ministry be appointed ; but even with this sword suspended over the popular masses, the further trial of their temper is an unsafe, not to say an injudicious, measure. To save the country the arms of the people must be unloosed, and their power directed by agents of their own party and principles. Such was the terror of the Ministers that they ac tually slept from home, lest they might fall victims to some insurrectionary movement in the course of the night following the arrival of the news of PAR DINAS' defeat. Fortunately, however, no distur bance occurred ; although an outbreak of the po pulace is very generally dreaded. So much for the boasted non-intervention policy of England and France! The prophecies of M. THIERS are in the direct progress of fulfilment. Lord PALMERSTON may now see whether it would not have been a wiser as well as a more respectable policy to follow the recommendations of The Sun four years ago, than to adopt the shuffling, temporizing, das tardly suggestions of the Globe and Cfirouicle, now exhibited in the conversion of a great natio❑ into a horde of fratricidal brigands. In this cup of gall we find one drop of honey. It consists of the following despatch from General NARVAEZ to the War Minister, dated Ciudad Real, the 2d inst. : " The rebel Chief Orejita died yesterday near Oyo. His body is to be removed to-day to this capital. I am also informed that the Cabecilla Malagueno Zarjeta and others have made their submission, so that the entire ef La Mancha is now completely pacified." EAST INDIA HOUSE.-(THIS DAY.) A Special Court of Proprietors of East India Stock was held this day, at the Company's [louse in Leadenhall.stre e t, Sir J. Law Lushington in the chair. The minutes of last Court were read and confirmed. The CHAIRMAN acquainted the Court that it had been made special, for the purpose of submitting, for the confirmation of the Proprietors, the resolution of the Court of Directors of the 9th instant, granting the sum of 5,0001. to the estate of the late Mr. Fraser, Commissioner and Agent to the Go vernor-General in Delhi, on the ground therein stated. The Chairman having put the question, Sir C. FORBES said it was not his intention to offer any fac tious opposition to the resolution before the Court ; but he felt it was a duty he owed to the Court of Proprietors to maintain their rights, and who, he would again state, had been called upon to decide on a most important question without sufficient information being laid before them to en, ble them to form a correct judgment upon it ; and he did, therefore, on a former day, propose that the consideration of the subject should be postponed until the next General Court-day. He did think that after so long a period as three years and a half had elapsed since the unfortunate occurrence which gave rise to the proposal of the grant took place, during which time the Directors had not been able to come to a decision on the propriety of the grant—he did hope, he said, that the delay of another month would not have been objected to, to enable the Proprietors to obtain such information on the sub ject as was open to them. Being disappointed in that, he moved that the dissents of those Directors who had dissented from the grant shouid be read for the information of the Proprietors, that they might have the same informa tion as the Directors were in possession of before they confirmed a resolution which had been agreed to by a majority of 11 to 5, in a Court of 16 Directors only, and not a full Court of 24 Directors. He had now to request that the dissents of Mr. Tucker and other Directors be read, and in asking that he hoped he should not be considered as asking anything uncommon or unreasonable, but something for which there were many precedents, and to which, therefore, on the present occasion, he trusted there would be no objection. He had further to state, that although every exertion, by can vassing, had been made to induce Proprietors to vote for the original motion, it was carried only by 162 to 44. The CHAIRMAN said he must decline complying with the request of the Honourable Baronet after a motion for reading the dissents had been made in a former Court of Proprietors and negatived. With regard to what had been said about canvassing Proprietors, he could only say that he had not canvassed any one Proprietor, and h e should have been ashamed to have done so, believing, as he did, that the proposed grant to the family of Mr. Frazer stood on such equitable grounds, that there was no occasion for him to do so. As far, however, as he was pe rsonally concerned, he had no objection to the dissents being read. _ After a long discussion, in which Mr. TUCKER and Mr. JENKINS, Directors, and several Proprietors took part, Mr. MARRIOTT moved for the production of the dissents, but afterwards withdrew the motion. The Court then adjourned. Intelligence was received this morning from Bombay, an nouncing the death of Sir Robert Grant. GUILDHALL.-(THISDAY.) A Frenchman, rather fashionably attired, whose name we understood to be Hilbert Eti enne , was b roug ht before M Alerman MAGNAY under the following suspicious circum stances : Mr. Thomas Brough, the landlord of the Ram Inn, deposed that the prisoner came to his house on Thursday n i g ht last In a cab, an d i nqu i red if any one was waiting for him. "c afterward s or d ere d coffee, and then went out, as he sa id, to see a friend. I n a b out two hours he returned, and aga i n had coffee. H e rema i ned at the house until Monday, w h en he went away in a ca b . Mr. James S tevens d eposed that he was at presen t stopping at the Ram I nn , an d that on Monday afternoon, about t hree o'clock, he di scovere d that the lock of his trunk ha d b e en forced, and missed a pocket-b oo k, conta i n i ng tw o 20/, notes and two let. n o t es . O ne of the notes was a Bank of Eng." land note, and mark e d so that he could identify it if he sa w it — Policeman 18 deposed that when the prisoner left the Ram, Inn he went to the Liv erpoo l -road, and from thence to seve r?l other:places, and was found this morning in bed, at the Bull , i n Aldgate. On his person an d i n hi s trunks were found fifty-two sovereigns and a half sovereign, and eighteen shillings in silver, thirty-two five-franc pieces, two silver watches, several trin keis, and a variety of other articles, amongst which were a pair of pincers and a file. The prisoner, on being charged with the robbery, said he knew nothing either of the Ram Inn or Smithfield, and that he had only been in this country a few days. Mr. Brough, in answer to questions by the Magistrate, said there were other lodgers in the house, and that every room was full. William Eady, waiter at the inn, identified the prisoner as the person who had been in the house, and stated that he slept in the next room but one to Mr. Stevens. On Monday he was up stairs from half-past nine o'clock until one, and said that morning he was going to stop three or four days longer ; but on coming down stairs at one o'clock, he ordered a cab and drove off. He had been seen in different rooms by the chambermaid. Tile prisoner wished to hare some person who understood French to interpret for him. The waiter remarked that he could speak very good Eng lish sometimes. The prisoner was then remanded. Eliza TVright was charged with felony by Maria Seymour, of 6, Jane-place, Cornwall-road. The prisoner, it appeared, had been in the service of the complainant about nine weeks, and last night, in the absence of her mistress, she left the l►oue, having first decked herself in a silk cloak and bonnet, which were not her own property. She was apprehended on Blackfriars Bridge. The lady of the house, it turned out, had on certain occasions lent the prisoner her bonnet, and as she had now got possession of her things again, the case was not pressed, and the prisoner was discharged. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) John Wathins, 12, University-street, and John Sheys, 14, University4treet, medical students, were brought up on a charge of being drunk, and causing disturbance in Covent- Garden Theatre. Constable Wheatland, of the A division, stated, that at half past ten o'clock, last night, while on duty in the theatre, he was called into the saloon to remove the defendants, who; were in a state of intoxication, and acting in a very disorderly man ner. Oa remonstrating with them they appeared willing to conduct themselves with more decorum ; but he had scarcely turned his back, when they again became so noisy as to dis turb the entire audience, and on his attempting to remove them they assaulted him. kr. Bolster, the box•keeper, confirmed the above state ment, and added, that the defendants, in staggering about, broke fifteen shillings' worth of glass, which they paid for. The defendants pleaded drunkenness, and they were ordered to pay the drunkard's fine, and a penalty of 10s. each for the assault upon the policeman. A young lad, named Daniel Cheshim, was brought up by Wm. Skinner, an Officer of Stamps, charged with hawking this morning, in the streets adjacent to the Strand, earthenware, glass, and china, without a license. The defendant said he had been four years in the trade, and had never before been charged with the offence. Sir FREDERICK ROE—The law is imperative upon the sub ject, and you must pay a fine of 101., or go to prison for three months. MARYLEBONE.-(Till S DAY. A young man named Daniel Bliss was placed at the bar in spectors of Mr. H os ki ns , c h arge d by o ne of the police of this district with having stolen a quantity of iron work be longing to th e C ompany o f t h e G rea t W este rn Railway. In reply to the Bench the prisoner said he had picked up the articles, which were thrown, apparently unheeded, amongst the rubbish on the embankments, and had not the least idea that they were ever intended for future use. An Inspector of the Railroad constabulary proved they were the property of the Company. Latterly depredations of this kind were ca rr i e d to a great extent, inasmuch as great facili ties were afforded to the thieves from those things being scat tered so loosely about on the works. The prisoner, who said he was a coke-burner, was fined 10s., and in default of payment committed to the House of Correction. THE MARKETS.- 7 (T - HIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. There have been this morning very few fresh arrivals of any kind of Grain, and a small quantity of Flour. There has been another considerable country demand for Wheat to-day, and Foreign parcels that are in good condition have obtained 2s. per quarter advance on Monday's terms; the sale of English has been small, and has rather extended former terms.

At this morning's market there was a very lively demand for old Wheats. Owing to the unfavourable state of the weather since Friday, having injured a great portion of the Grain still unhoused, all descriptions of old realized an advance of 3d. per 'Nibs., and Irish New was fully ld. to 2d. per nibs. dearer.

When persons of a certain description fall out, persons of another description are seldom much the worse for it. The people of England, therefore, must be rather unlucky if they do not gain some little benefit (knowledge is in itself a benefit) from the in sight which Mr. Sharman Crawford so eagerly affords them into the character of his own most conspicuous associate and fellow labourer, and so unconsciously, at the same time, into the ultimate object of all those mighty boastings of patriotism and schemes of Reform with which this noble pair of brothers have so long deafened the community. Ay, when the sneaking rogue crawls to windward of the bold one, and when the latter, to revenge himself, betrays their common machinations, the result is for the most part such as ought to satisfy the sternest demands of vindictive jus tice. It may be well to expose the base practices of O'Connell in disappointing, mortifying, betraying, deftroauhdis ing the factious con s pi ra t ors w h ose fbng subserviency plots bad raised him to his late condition of preternatural power, whereby he has been enabled to sell that flock of innocent lambs, the Papists of Ireland, to her Majesty's Ministers, and to get in exchange thereof the patronage of the said Ministers for his own private uses. It may be very well to expose all this, and to convince the whole world how profitable it is to have any dealings in the shape of trust or partnership with Mr. Daniel O'Connell, even in the blessed cause of revolution. But there is something better to be achieved by such performers as Mr. Sharman Crawford, tnd which none can accomplish half so satisfac torily as a personage who has been himself a principal in the proceedings referred to by him—proceedings which it may have been treachery in O'Connell to abandon, but which it was nothing short of treason in him or his fierce accuser to attempt. This high and paramount consummation, in every way so desirable for the country, was an announce ment ex cathedra, from such an authority as Mr. Sharman Crawford, of the precise nature and somewhat awful extent of those reforms which the latter worthy indi vidual still openly meditates—which the faction described by him as the " people of Ireland," are applauded by him for still passionately cherishing and pursuing --and the frustration, or indefinite delay of which, from motives of disgraceful selfishness, constitutes that crime of " apos tacy" with which he charges Mr. Daniel O'Connell. With reference to the second and more important use to which Mr. Sharman Crawford's mad-dog cry against O'Connell is convertible, we must observe that it is almost unawares he has made it an index to the reckless and immeasurable ruin projected by your so-called patriots against the foundations of the monarchy. Let us hear the whole-hog Sharman upon these topics, and first in the setting forth of a piece of exquisite nonsense, wherein he shines with no borrowed light. Endeavouring to show how much worse the " people of Ireland" are off since the passing of the new Tithe Bill than they ever were before, thus the muddy mystifier drivels :—" Formerly it was argued by the sup porters of the monopoly, that the tithes were paid by the landlords, who were chiefly Protestants, and not by the people, who were chiefly Roman Catholics or Dissenters. But the late Act, by its provisions, clearly acknowledges the principle, that the tithe rent-charge is to be levied by the landlord, in addition to rent, and clearly imposes it on the people, in that form." So, then, the new rent-charge is a tax imposed upon the " people," as contrasted with the " landlords," is it ? How is this broad and stupid alle gation made out ? Suppose to-morrow, that there were not a shilling of rent-charge in lieu of tithe, or any other provision made for the Protestant clergy ; does this igno rant demagogue or deliberate impostor—for one or other he is ofnecessity—does he mean to tell his " people of Ireland," that in the case of a farm to be let to morrow, the incoming tenant would get th e l an d f or a single shilli ng l ess o f rent per acre than now, that a por tion of that rent is to go out of the landlord's pocket for the support of the clergy ? A tenant, having formerly tithe to pay in addition to his rent, would offer just so much rent as when, together with tithes and other inevi table charges, deducted from the produce of the soil, would enable him to have a tenant's profit. No landlord could force him to give more. But now that the tenant has no tithe to pay, he will offer as much more for the l-nd per acre as the tithe, if still payable, will amount to. He will offer the value of the land as if it were tithe free. What the landlord has to pay out of his rent, whether rent-charge to a clergyman, jointure to his father's widow, or interest on a mortgage, will not alter the amount of rent a single farthing ; because it is the tenant's outgoings, not the landlord's, which determine the value of the land to the occupier, who never troubles his head with the ques tion, " What the landlord is to do with his rent when he receives it ?" but how much rent the quality of the land, and its position with regard to markets, will enable him (the tenant) to pay. It is a knavish delusion, therefore, to pass off upon the " people of Ire land," or a despicable blunder, that the rent-charge fixed upon the soil is a tax upon the tenant. Were it abolished at once by Act of Parliament, not a farthing more on that account would find its way into the tenant's pocket. The landlord would get all. If Mr. Sharman Crawford says otherwise, he is a blockhead or something worse, as any farmer from Caithness to the Land's-end will inform him. A pretty instructor of " the people of Ireland!" There are some curious admissions sprinkled here and there with the pugnacious menaces of Mr. Sharman Crawford —as, for instance, that trammelled as the " Irish people" are and have been by the perpetual tricks, and shifting, and dictations, and exactions of O'Connell (and why not of the priests, Mr. Sharman Crawford ?), they " are ready to march" upon every " scheme of delusion, and I say with grief, that a people so trammelled can afford no security for the maintenance or attain ment of either political or religious freedom." Say you so, vociferous champion of the " people of Ireland ?" Have not we said so all along ? Have we not laughed in derision of the paradox that, enslaved and trampled on as those miserable, superstitious, priest-be-ridden, demagogue ridden, duped, stimulated, maddened, more than semi-bar barians were, it was a daring and wicked fra u d t o h o ld them up as safe depositaries o f political right, or as reason ing assertors of the cause of freedom. But this man moves on. He asks if this new Tithe Bill were not better for the Church, which signifies in his dialect worse for the people, than Lord Stanley's Act, which it superseded, why should the " Tories" have agreed to give up one-fourth of the Church revenue to obtain it? This interrogatory involves a piece of factious misrepresentation, and of matchless im pudence. The Conservatives agreed to the Bill, and to a deduction of one-fourth from the income of the clergy, already by no means too much for their wants, because they hoped by such a sacrifice to promote in some degree the peace of Ireland—a desire which it would be well if Mr. Sharman Crawford, Mr. Daniel O'Connell, and other patriots, had betrayed a much mere obvious inclination to thwart than to participate. The Conservatives were as anxious to get rid of the unhappy disputes between the established clergy and the occupying tenantry, caused by the ancient condition of the tithe system, as Messrs. O'Con nell and Sharman Crawford would be to perpetuate any source of disturbance, or, ceasing the old ones, to invent and fabricate others. One grand vice of the new Tithe Bill in their eyes is, beyond all doubt, its aptitude to stop the collisions between the peasantry and the beneficed clergy. Listen once more to this incendiary, and watch his fatal exhibition of the cloven foot, in the following most pregnant passage of his first letter. He reproaches O'Con nell for having supported a measure which he represents to hare been so much more objectionable than Lord Stan ley's Composition Bill ; and why does he thus prefer Lord Stanley's imperfect measure ? Because, " had the people been permitted to work out their own cause"—that is, of course, by the pike and fagot— the " power of the people"— their numbers and savage cruelties, no doubt, would have swept away the " abomination of ecclesiastical monopolies" by mere force, and for ever have prevented the " revival of that or any other compulsory payment for the establishment of any other Church usurpation in Ireland ; and the same result would have soon been effected over the British empire by the successful crumple qf Ireland ! !" Well, is not this enough ? Are our supercharitable, namby-pamby, half and-half Protestants of England and Scotland in want of further light than is afforded them by the above frank avowal as to the true nature and frightful magnitude of the plot for the destruction of the United Church, under the lying and diabolical pretence of a moderate reform of the Church in Ireland only ? Are we not warned now Shall we not buckle on our armour now P Shall we set fire to our own holy edifice, wantonly, sa crilegiously , this ly ,now that our eyes are op ene d ? Will any milt] manifestation of the d es t ro y er ' s pro j ec t from his the Churchi; own after lip will any Protestant no w d are t o pretend that s_ in thereof n gla had England pmighteriperished ed sti be secure, though the Irish branch k he p s la tz e nd u a n rd d e r es t h d e e n a y d i fla n n i t s l t l that t the i on Are we to understand t Itathcormack massacre too He might as . w . ell deny that the de of Sir Robert Peel to oy producethe the smallest Tory press, were de luge took place under ?

Why this only makes the case of the Tories worse. Coming events cast their shadows before." The very shadow of a Tory Government was a massacre! We had not perceived before the full moral of the tragedy of Ratlieormack : we thank the judicious Standard for the new light he has thrown upon a point of so much prac tical importance. The Standard shows a total misap prehension of the matter when he tells us of the ,nstructions of Lord Wellesley's Government, under
